Personal observations 1. Not a fan of the wheels.. sorry.. mostly because I do not like the stance of the car but I know that is how it looks stock too.. but it looks like it is way too tall for a luxury sedan.. and the Gotti wheels make it look like the cars I see in Detroit.. all them old police cruisers sitting on 20s 2. OEM Euro bumpers on a car from Europe are not rare.. it's the equivalent of putting JDM bumpers on your Honda.. looks cool.sure.. but not rare when they are stock in every other market I agree with you on rims from your viewpoint. Ppl LOVE them but to some ppl.. Like you said the raised look\stance... Not oem... Some ppl (most) like them slammed. I however mildly disagree on bumpers... I mean regular shitty american bumpers are not entirely easy to find... There is significantly less euro bumpers out there... 9\10 times you will never see them on a MB cuz of the cost. Its not entirely like the civic jdm comparison especially becsuse many of thise types of cars have aftermarket companies... This is all oem when it comez to the mercs... Ive learnef my lesson on knickoff shit... Now a jdm type package comparible to the civic jdm reference dir mb would be the amg sport bumper attachments for front and back to guve a spirtier low profile look

My point to gerg or big. This aint supposed to be a piss contest.
A kindof unwritten rule when you go to car shows is you dont hate or piss on other pp cuz were all in it for the fun... Or if you aint having fun.. And yes money is involved .. Then yoy in the wrong buz.
Can you put a price on a complete custum model A Ford carriage rebuild with a chevy 350 in it and an amazing paint job?
Its tough... But if you wanr to vuy complete rebuilda on classics start thinking about spending 15-25k.. And your gonna neex that in your account... Or cash.

But if you wanr to vuy complete rebuilda on classics start thinking about spending 15-25k.. And your gonna neex that in your account... Or cash. Yet here you hate and piss on everyone else's car, how they earn their living, if they live in an apartment, where they live in the country, etc., and act as if someone doesn't want to spend their money on what you spend yours on they are somehow poor and can't afford a gold chain and medallion or a car that costs them a whole $12k. You said vanity plates are $$$, but a lot of people would rather spend the $50 on something else - that doesn't mean they can't afford them or are otherwise poor. My cousin's rich husband used to restore old race cars from the 20's and 30's. The type his dad used to race. Did all the restorations himself, never bought one restored by someone else. It wouldn't have been much of a hobby of his if he let other people do the restoration and he just paid them for their expenses. And I wouldn't compare a complete custom Model A Ford with a mid-80's entry/mid-level Mercedes. Maybe in 60 years when the Mercedes is about the same age as the Ford is now..... Good luck selling your ride and better luck getting your price.

this thread is now about my diesel wagon first order of business: swirl flap (left) removal and replace with a plug (right) so that if the part fails, it doesnt fall through the intake into the engine and do bad stuff like this:

Jersey Boys auto was a total success. Oil change, oil filter, cabin filter, air filter, replace squealing serpentine and AC belt, and the found the coolant leak that was making the belt squeal so I had them replace that thermostat since it was like €50.

fuel filters are next. there's one under the hood before the fuel injectors and theres another under the car after the fuel pump.
also, apparently you can order a 55 gallon drum of antifreeze on amazon.

Good news grease monkeys! I think I can forgo the swirl flap removal because it appears my car does not seem to have them. They were put into production around September 2001 and my car was purchased in October so I think it's unlikely that it made it from Germany to Italy that quickly. Their implementation coincides with the bump from 134 horsepower to 150 horsepower, and I'm pretty sure I have the former. A removal of the superficial engine cover and examination of the fuel rail will eliminate any doubt.
Fuel filters ordered after hunting to find quality parts here in the spaghetti west. Proper spec anti-freeze is on the way from the states since the previous owner just added water to top off the leak, trim clips coming to reattach the exterior molding from a prior sideswipe, and I ordered 00 steel wool to clean the pitted alloy wheels.
Next up: pull some dents and fix the rear tailgate which is stuck closed. It's looking better every day. Thanks for reading my blahg
